Female shamanic medicine can be found in cultures all over the world.
This book examines the women of our own culture who mixed the potions,
the plants they used, how both women and plants were demonized by church
and state, and how the same plants can be used today. Illustrated with
fine art reproductions dating back to the 16th century, it also looks at
the plants associated with important seasonal festivals, the history of
forbidden medicine, and more.
